荷兰3D打印机制造商混合AM系统已经为其HMS434 FFF机器实施了UL 746D认证。UL 746D标准定义了塑料物品识别和可追溯性的要求。符合此认证,用户可以快速可靠地识别HMS434中使用的塑料材料。机器和打印设置也可以类似地识别和跟踪。

Scramjet engines and racing motorcycles

两个竞争者达帕Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept(HAWC) programme –诺斯罗普·格鲁曼(Northrop Grumman)Aerojet Rocketdyne– are 3D printing engines to bring their scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missiles into test flights in 2020. Other than saving on production costs and lead times, 3D printing also enables previously impossible engine geometries. By changing the contours of the inside of a scramjet, the flow of air and fuel and hence performance is improved. To build on its work with the BoeingX-51Aaircraft, Aerojet Rocketdyne获得的3D材料技术in March 2019 to expand its AM capabilities.The more ambitious Northrop Grumman is aiming to 3D print its engine in its entirety, including the critical combustor.

Short Run Manufacturing: 3D Printing vs Injection Molding

在一项可行性研究中,“短期制造中具有自动后处理阶段的3D打印”,Zortraxhas analyzed the performance of FDM/ FFF 3D printing with an automatic post-processing stage. Running multiple cost simulations for numerous business scenarios, 3D printing is examined in contrast to injection molding under the same conditions. Zortrax manufactured a short series of 500 computer fan covers with theM200加3D打印机和used theapollerSVS device用于自动化后处理。

Conclusions show that although injection molding has a slight edge in a one-off production, this edge begins to vanish with growing complexity of the product. The flexibility of 3D printing presents higher manufacturing output at lower cost per unit in continuous short-run manufacturing. Furthermore, 3D printers with automated post-processing do not need retooling each time a product design is changed. Such savings also grow over time in short-run manufacturing.

我们最深切的同情

3D印刷行业最近为大型3D印刷公司Bigrep的联合创始人兼前首席执行官RenéGurka失去了哀悼。古尔卡(Gurka)被描述为“真正的有远见的人”,于2014年创立了该公司。他还是旧金山德国美国商会的董事总经理,以及柏林合作伙伴GmbH的董事总经理,并将柏林作为商业和技术枢纽提升。

该公司在一份声明中评论说:“雷内(René)将BigRep充满活力为全球品牌。”“他将自己的个性和全球思维带入了公司的核心。雷内(René)的精神居住在比格雷普(Bigrep),他的无限能量继续推动这里每个人的日常生活。[…]我们的想法与雷内的家人在一起。我们致力于实现他对Bigrep的愿景。”

分享他对添加剂制造的未来的见解with 3D Printing Industry in 2017, the respected industry figure said, “One thing is certain: we are at the beginning of a technical revolution. AM technology will decisively influence the entire value chain in industrial production over the next five years. We should take advantage of this opportunity! Think Big- Go BigRep!”.
